Ball der Tiere

Mir dünkt, wir geben einen Ball!
Sprach Frau Nachtigall.
So?
Sprach der Floh.
Was werden wir essen?
Sprachen die Wespen.
Nudeln!
Sprachen die Pudeln.
Was werden wir trinken?
Sprachen die Finken.
Bier!
Sprach der Stier.
Nein, nein!
Sprach das Schwein.
Wo werden wir tanzen?
Sprachen die Wanzen.
Im Haus!
Sprach die Maus.
